• You’ll see a set of sections that radiate from the top a second set radiates from the stem end. The two sets are divid by a ridge running around the pomegranate about two-thirds of the way down from the top.
• Slice the pomegranate skin along the ridges that run from the top to the bottom and along the horizontal ridge. Try to score through the skin as deep as the white membrane and avoid slicing into the seeds.
• Then, using your fingers, gently pull the pomegranate apart. It will fall into a star shape, like a blossom. Spoon out the juicy seeds to eat and discard the white membrane, which has a bitter taste.
